INTRODUCTION Hypertension is common with a prevalence of approximately one third of the adult Swedish population and similar figures reported world wide. It is associated to cardiac structural- and functional changes as well as vascular dysfunction which all can be delayed or reversed by appropriate

Determine whether nutritional supplement sulforaphane (SFN) is safe to administer to breast cancer patients undergoing doxorubicin (DOX) chemotherapy. The investigators have identified biomarkers for presymptomatic detection of DOX cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients and reported that SFN
The SHIP cohort study was launched in 2006 for the purpose of improving healthy life expectancy in patients with any cardiovascular diseases (CVD) who were admitted to the Sakakibara Heart Institute. The study used a continuous surveillance system to track all subsequent incidents of CVD and/or

Background:
The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with aneurysmal or occlusive disease of the aorta is high: more than 50 percent of patients suffering from peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) do also have coronary artery disease. As
STUDY OBJECTIVES The general aim of the study is to evaluate whether wheat aleurone-rich food supplementation modifies the cardiovascular and metabolic risk profiles in subjects at increased metabolic risk.
Primary objectives of the trial are to evaluate whether wheat aleurone-rich food
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide accounting for nearly one third of the total deaths. The majority (90%) of the CVD cases are caused by modifiable risk factors. These factors include tobacco smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, physical inactivity,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main causes of death and hospitalization in patients affected by ESRD . The risk of death from CVD is already detectable in the early steps of chronic renal failure and it is from 20 to 30 times higher than in the general population. In ESRD patients the
24 subjects will be recruited. Exclusion criteria will be presence of known metabolic syndrome as well as history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, cardiomyopathy and tobacco use. Study will be conducted as double blind placebo controlled crossover trial. Subjects will be
